[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-274) BeanManager#getBeans() shall throw an Exception if called before AfterDeploymentValidation

[Mark Struberg (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-274?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12763906#comment-12763906 ] 

Mark Struberg commented on CDI-274:
-----------------------------------

either that or move the point of the check from currently AfterDeploymentValidation to AfterBeanDiscovery.

This feature got introduced to prevent Extensions from behaving randomly depending on the scan order. If we agree that AfterBeanDiscovery is a save enough point, then I'm also fine with it.

> We recently had the erroneous case in DeltaSpike that an Extension did call BeanManager#getBeans() in an @Observes ProcessBean method. 
> Doing so leads to random behaviour as the result of getBeans() depends on the order in which the other beans got processed already. E.g. getBeans(Object.class) will return an empty list for the first bean getting processed, and will return all beans -1 for the last bean. That just makes no sense and will create unreproducible bugs.
> PROPOSAL:
> We shall add spec language to BeanManager#getBeans() that any invocation before the AfterDeploymentValidation phase will result in a deployment error.
